Product Information
Full details
The Ergotron MX Wall Mount LCD Arm is designed for users with mid-sized desktop displays and all-in-one computers weighing up to 30 lbs (13.6 kg). Its key benefit is enhanced comfort and productivity through extensive adjustability, including height, extension, tilt, and rotation, while freeing up valuable desk space. A potential caveat is its wall-mounting requirement, necessitating a sturdy vertical surface or compatible accessory for installation.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of the Ergotron MX Wall Mount LCD Arm?
The arm can support single displays and all-in-one computers weighing up to 30 lbs (13.6 kg).
What VESA patterns are supported by default?
The arm supports VESA MIS-D/E/F patterns, specifically 75x75mm, 100x100mm, 200x100mm, and 200x200mm.
Can this mount be used for monitors larger than 42 inches?
The maximum recommended screen size is 42 inches (106.7 cm). While it supports specific VESA patterns up to 200x200mm, monitor dimensions and weight distribution also play a role. For larger VESA patterns, an adapter kit is available.
How much space does the arm save?
When not in use, the arm can fold compactly to within 5 inches (13 cm) of the wall, freeing up significant desk space.
Does the product include all necessary mounting hardware?
The package includes the arm, vertical mount base, VESA adapter brackets, and attachment hardware for mounting to sturdy vertical surfaces like wood studs. Wall anchors for other surfaces may need to be purchased separately based on wall type.
How far can the arm extend horizontally?
The arm offers up to 17 inches (42 cm) of horizontal extension and retraction motion.
Is the cable management system easy to use?
Yes, the integrated cable management system is designed to route cables neatly under the arm, keeping them out of the way and contributing to a clean workspace.
Troubleshooting
Monitor arm feels stiff or difficult to move.
Check that the set screws for tilt and rotation are not overtightened. Loosen them slightly according to the manual. Ensure the monitor's weight is within the supported range.
Monitor arm won't hold position or sags.
Verify the monitor's weight is within the specified 13.6 kg capacity. Adjust the tension screws for lift and tilt mechanisms as described in the installation manual to compensate for monitor weight.
VESA plate does not align with monitor mounting holes.
Confirm your monitor's VESA pattern (75x75mm, 100x100mm, etc.) and ensure it is supported by the included brackets. If not, you may need the separate VESA Bracket Adaptor Kit (97-759).
Wall mounting feels insecure.
Ensure the mount is attached to a solid structural element like a wall stud. If mounting to drywall without a stud, use heavy-duty drywall anchors specifically rated for significant weight. Consult a professional if unsure.
Cable management clips are hard to attach.
Ensure cables are routed cleanly and without excessive tension before attempting to attach the clips. Sometimes pressing firmly or slightly repositioning the cable can help.

The package includes the arm, a vertical mount base, and VESA adapter brackets. Attachment hardware for standard installations is provided.
